Pros: Sharp, light beautiful colors

Cons: For the use I make of it I have not found any

Opinion: Compact lens, not too dark, lightweight. I used it with Fuji XE3 for a safari in Kenya, with apsc it becomes an 82.5-300 and I found that it was also sufficient because they are very close to the animals. Normally on a safari you find yourself in a tight off-road vehicle and photograph from the roof, for this reason the combined objective camera of minimum size and weight were essential. The files produced are excellent and, for those who want to judge, I posted some of them in my gallery.

Pros: Good price, nice colors, sharp

Cons: Autofocus

Opinion: I don't express myself technically because I don't have enough expertise, but the photos I take out if the autofocus doesn't go into difficulty for me are excellent. If you are not in full light it is a drama, and I switch to manual fire. The focal range is also very versatile. The workmanship is more than decent for normal use. I would not use it in dusty or high humidity conditions, otherwise it will all fit in the camera body. Overall a lens to have.

Pros: Super sharpness, weight and compactness, stabilization, construction, brightness, second-hand price, made in Japan.

Cons: Autofocus sometimes unreliable, barrel extension at rest.

Opinion: I have been using this telephoto lens for a year, bought used in excellent condition at the right price (well under 400) attracted by the general characteristics and preferred to the 70-300 for reportage use. I have also tried to use it for professional work for its size and low weight, focal lengths, brightness and discretion in use instead of a classic 70-200 f2.8 that I also own. When the shot is in focus, it is razor-sharp and correct even at full aperture, especially at short and medium distances. The stabilization is effective and at 1/125 you can go quietly, with attention you can even go down. Comparing images taken at an event with this lens paired with a 24-megapixel sensor with a Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II paired with a Canon 7D MKII, and the sharpness is comparable, at a fraction of the price and weight of the old king of professional telephoto lenses. Bokeh and rendering are obviously different and you can see that the Fuji is not a top-class lens, but only an expert eye can tell the difference. In this regard, let's say that the transition between the plane of fire and the out of focus is not great, but is only noticeable in certain situations. Unfortunately with my old X-Trans III bodies the focus in addition to not being snappy sometimes makes mistakes especially on long focal lengths and this can be a problem if used in dynamic contexts, since the error is not always evident in the viewfinder and you only find out by zooming, perhaps at home that the shot is to be thrown away. The only other annoying flaw in my sample is the zoom that extends at rest. Overall a good example offers excellent flexibility and image quality with only 600 grams in the bag, it can certainly give spectacular and very detailed photos in many contexts. It doesn't work miracles for its price range but it is not easy to find a similar solution in other brands and for carefree use it is certainly, to date, a best-buy in Fuji.

Pros: Overall image quality, stabilization, size

Cons: Slow autofocus in low light

Opinion: It's a lens that I'm liking, the images it returns are sharp, with beautiful colors and don't suffer from chromatic aberration, at least not noticeable. It is also good at the maximum focal length, it is not heavy, nor huge, moreover the focal range seems excellent to me in relation to the brightness and with the right focal lengths, minimum and maximum. The minimum focusing distance has never put me in difficulty. I don't like, however, the autofocus. I specify that I am using it with the small and dated x-m1, but it seems a bit too slow in low light conditions. Also, I find the aperture ring a bit useless which, not being mechanical and being without indexes, offers nothing better than a wheel on the camera. I've had the lens for a short time, so my impressions are a bit "hot".

Pros: IQ (for the type of goal); weight; dimensions; price

Cons: non-WR

Opinion: A lens that I had and sold only to replace it with the 70-300. It is not WR but it remains built with dignity (more than I expected). Coupled with the 10-24 it forms a very interesting kit for light rides, covering a nice focal range. Very good image quality for all applications. Price all in all good.
